- NTD’s Lee Hall sits down with Josie Appleton, founding director of the Manifesto Club, a civil liberties group that defends freedom in everyday life. Ms. Appleton talks about the growing control over public spaces and everyday life by state officials and private management companies.
The British government discriminates against it's citizens.
Very close to all our Communist State no free press no free speech and no say on the open borders policy that's ruining the country....
When I was at university in the 1980s it was a badge of pride that unlike some countries there were no laws preventing people enjoying a drink in public. This is now long gone.
I've just realised that maybe that is why so many of the rioters were drinking out of beer cans.
Excellent exposure of this creeping control. I guess they will justify it by bringing more and more foreigners in, who don't know English norms, and they'll tell the locals that these extra rules and limits are because of all the foreigners. Problem with that is, the foreigners will not be forced/fined/pushed around, as they don't accept these rules as made for them. So they'll get free range, and the locals will be totally hemmed in.
A big component of this is people seeing the government as mummy and daddy, which people have dome for years. I bave absolutely ZERO sympathy. He who trades freedom for security shall have neither.
To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, you forgot to say.
rogerdodger - it's not even for security, it's for CONVENIENCE, the EASY options at your fingertips in favour of freedoms.
Somebody awake to this creeping Jack boot of government policies...
Many public spaces in cities are actually private land provided expressly to control the behaviour of people in a precinct.
Indeed. In front of the Town Hall of Wrexham is a beautiful green park surrounded by a low fence. I've walked the circumference of that green area and counted ( I forget exactly, it was a few years ago) 20 plus signs, each stating you must not do this and you must not do that, this is forbidden and that is forbidden--all under threat of a financial penalty. It is, to me, hugely ironic that the enforcers or the 'verbottens' are quite frequently shabbier in appearance than the homeless folk.
However.
There must be some truth that PEOPLE are now breaking laws more often.
Take cycling on the footpath, endangering pedestrians. Some might say this is because it is too dangerous to cycle on roads that are more busy.
Our societies also have a high proportions of illegal immigrants and legal immigrants who do not seem to be willing to integrate into our chosen cultural system here in The UK.
Here the government's regulatory bodies and law enforcers have a choice, force compliance on new comers or introduce new laws to restrict opposition to changes undesirable to those with long ties to this country.
The background to this discussion above is that our government: MPs; ministers and; civil service have been captured by The World Economic Forum and intend to follow the objectives and strategies of The WEF rather than The UK population's wishes thrashed out in Westminster.
This means WE can no longer make necessary changes within The UK, regardless of this intelligent woman's best analysis; an analysis built on traditional British values.
If we have not been subsummed within an atheistic Marxist global society by 2030, we WILL be resolved by Sharia law within a decade, this just is probably not what a British person would historically have wished for.
We are not free we are groomed in life to do everything they want us to do in life it starts school, then college then work for 50 year then retire.. why have we got to do this , because this is how they control us. When you just look at a travellers life style so differently from ours , no school do as you please all your life . But they don't like this way because no control of that way of life.

100% true.
Some say statutes and lower rules require the consent of the living ones. Our customs, natural and common law, on the other hand, is our birth right.
This land, the parks, the beaches the forests, the streams was all given to us by God as our birthright, then the councils, governments, lords and ladies STOLE everything slowly, slowly. They took what they wanted, they have left us with nothing. We have a right to live freely without fear as long as we cause no harm or injury to others. It is time to wake up and get together to stop our last freedoms from being taken. We are their slaves and they make us pay for that privilege.
ANARCHY RULES are worse than any regulated democratic society's rules..
I understand your concerns but be very careful what you wish for.
As grandma used to say " Be careful not to throw baby out with the bathwater."
How can this be stopped???
Vote out the corrupt uni party of labour Tory zombies is the only way
It should be illegal for companies to issue fines for which there are no warning signs, that's extortion.
Lovely Woman
This is not new. It began under Blair and is now accelerating under Starmer as all the previous PMs.
I have just bought a copy of _Officious - Rise of the Busybody State_ by Josie Appleton. Amazon, eBay etc...
We were once a fine society we are now a fining society. Only government is to blame as they lead us and lay down the rules.
And First they came for the Smokers I wasn't a smoker didn't care then it was Drinkers I still didn't care then it was motorists oh Hang on Now they are coming for My CASH. WE SHOULD ALL. Do Something Help Smokers Drinkers HELP ME.
A smoker cannot practice their habit without spoiling someone else’s day. Drinkers can, if they drink AND spoil someone’s day that then is illegal.
How very depressing.
This Englishman´s home is his castle, in that I can grow tobacco and distil my own vodka and should I wish to grow marijuana for my own use, it´s not a crime.
The Town Architect visited with her police escort, (there are some funny people on my mountain) but he stayed at the top of the drive and indicated he would just enjoy the view rather than barging in, and I waved my appreciation. I don´t lock my house at night or my car in town, and if forced to park on a pedestrian crossing I would of course observe the local nicety of employing my hazard flashers. As an immigrant, I like to try and fit in. Viva España !
Much legislation is created without defining the meaning of major aspects of the new laws.
For example, the gender recognition act doesn't actually define what the word gender means.
Pride is the problem.
Ezekiel 16:49
Psalm 9:17
The police arrested me for push my bike
Problem is that when something goes wrong we say it is because government has failed in exercising its duty of care the result is ever expanding role of government which is inevitable Josie Appleton wants to live in a world that is no longer there it is not practical
Generally agree but there are some, or several issues, where one person's freedom imposes over another's. A busker is a noise and quite possibly unpleasant to many. Music is a polluting noise. Much as smoke from smokers in enclosed spaces harms others.
Cycling has no place being banned from any road. Pedestrian areas should have no cyclists, bar pushing it.
Police should have zero right to invent laws, restrictions or increases to their powers, ever. Applications in extreme cases should have both a judge and a jury to oversee any application for a temporary restrictive order. We need to prevent an elite bully class of official on their own developing more.
The definition of citisen is changing.😢
Yeah look what this leads to...
It's a crime to silently pray in public in the UK and woe betide anyone proselytising in public.
Hmmmm. I thought her piece in the Guardian about photographing children in public spaces (which IS totally legal) and at school events was incredibly naive.
Why?
@@AndyJarman We've had years of revelations about sexual abuse in schools, first by adults and now student on student abuse - indecent images ect. Schools and teachers are under incredible pressure to ensure children are safe in school - then to suggest that parents should be able to take pictures at school events is naive. Some schools actually do allow this and strike a balance, but where they err on the side of caution we should be pleased. Parents can't have it both ways.
Photography in a public place is still completely unregulated and rightly so. But taking pictures of someone's child without permission is both creepy and unadvisable.
why do you show A BRITISH flag ?
Surely it should be an EU one.......the flag of the Judas ?
She talks out of both sides of her mouth
